Does stripe allow auto debit from customers , based on some custom criteria fulfillment, NOT based on some interval(like monthly, yearly).
Yes you can use billing meters with thresholds

I don't want to maintain any billing cycle, just whenever the user is exausted with the credits , I want to charge the customer immediately, is this feature available ?

Not sure, could you share more details/some concrete example ?

We have some students whom we teach. Every student need to buy some credit points from us to take the classes online. Now, we want to implement a feature, where whenever the student is exausted with the credit points, we will immediately add some predefined credit to the students, so that the classes are never stopped, and immediately we will deduct the amount from the students payment account(credit card/bank account, as set by the student).

I see, thanks for the additional hints. You probably need to manage this as any off session payments. You first collect the payment method:
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse
And then charge the customer when the criteras are met

You can use Invoices too with these saved payment method.

Okay, so this will automatically charge the customer, and debit from their bank account Or they will just send a payment link to the customer to pay ?

If you follow the method above you will have collected and saved a payment method (card, bank, etc) for your customer, which you can then charge as and when you need off-session according to the credit logic you described above
There's no native concept of credits inside of Stripe really, so you'd be better off modelling that in your application and then just charging their card/bank ad-hoc when you require
